I was diving one day doing 60mph and all of sudden I could not accelerate and lost power coming from emission test that I passed. Ive just had a full tune up change mass air sensor no change, still no power and rough idle.

When I unplug the mass air flow sensor it idle & run the mass air flow is new out the box the second one I took the first one back because their was no change

It is your ECU Module. Probably got hit by severe heat. Typically it is the capacitors that need replacement on the board (less than $2) but you need a TV repair place to solder the new caps on board. $20 generally. The problem is finding where it is. This was ask before but was not answered. Instead they said check the battery cables. Lol

You could not accelerate because to ECU dropped you into Limp mode. You will need to downshift to run the car.
